I have GOT to shake this malaise

I have been on vacation for about a week now; I have much to do: closets to organize; book case to organize; spare room to sort through; filing to file. All things I really want to do. But what do I do? Sit here and wander through the internet.

I have reservations at a local resort next week (totally free courtesy of my Dad's time-share) and am actually dreading going.

Why? I don't know. I think I want to go; after all, I made the reservations. But for some reason all I want to do is sit here.

Bummer. I won't get another long vacation like this for a while; I should be enjoying it. Somebody please drag my ass out of this chair.

I Need a Vacation

Actually, I am on vacation right now. Took two whole weeks off -- all in a row!! I hope to stop thinking about work issues just any minute now!

I am staying home this week, with delusions of housework floating around my head. I did all the laundry yesterday. (Nine loads! This included stripping all bedding, mattress pads and all, bathroom rugs, decorative towels, etc.) Tomorrow I plan to work on rearranging the dining section of my kitchen. The end objective is to get rid of the treadmill that is gathering dust and taking up space. I'll let you know how that works out!

Next week I'm going to go away. Not far away, just to San Diego. I have a time-share reserved for the week, but will probably come home for a day or two in the middle of the week.

Next major life decision to make is whether to take over my Dad's timeshare in Palm Springs. I'm leaning towards yes, but still not sure. Have to question total cost before making final decision.

Today was "do nothing day" in my vacation plan, and I must say I have accomplished that goal admirably!

Frustrated

I am so frustrated these days. I know that by many standards I have it good; I have a good-paying job (just having a job is 'good' these days.) I have a delightful daughter grown and on her own and am very proud of her.

For some reason, though, I find myself annoyed at just about everything. Stupid people being at the top of the list. People who cannot articulate their thoughts and then get mad when I misunderstand them. After what would you think about this conversation?

Me: So, did you get a new computer?
Her: They put more memory in this one.
Me: Cool

I understood this to mean that she kept her old computer and had more memory added.

Conversation later that day:
Her: I am so glad they were able to give me this loaner computer.
Me: I thought they just added memory to your old one.
Her: NO -- I told you, they gave me a loaner for a year.

Sigh

Children who do not know how to behave in public places. Frustrate the hell out of me, but I reserve my anger for their parents who obviously have lost control.

Children who step on my foot then cry to their mom when I say "Hey, watch it"; not to mention their parents who somehow think I am supposed to anticipate where their stupid little feet are going to land when they jump around in a store. Better yet, kids who wander in front of my shopping cart, get run into by me, cry to their parents and I get yelled at. WATCH YOUR F****NG CHILDREN PEOPLE!!

Time to drive home -- watch out for the old lady in the grey Vue. She may not be in the best of moods this afternoon.

To the three people who may read this blog --

Sorry for the lack of posts. Having computer issues. The only one that works at the moment is the 'mini' computer which is difficult to type on. (Sorry about ending that sentence with a preposition, but the correct syntax just isn't me!)

Updates soon, I promise!
